The last time we looked at the Android version number distributions, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich had a 4.9% piece of the total Android pie. Google just released the latest numbers for the two weeks leading up to June 1st, and now we see ICS has grown 2.2% to a total of 7.1%.

Though the growth is admirable, keep in mind that the ICS SDK was released 8 months ago in October. To only be on 7.1% of all Android devices out there doesn’t say much for the time it’s taking manufacturers and carriers to upgrade existing devices.

Wow! A whopping 7%! And only since Google released it to anyone/everyone… back in October of 2011.

That is incorrect. Asia gets its ICS this month, since the carriers adding their firmware. It’s not available to every one yet. Still better than ios tho. Took almost two years to update from 4 to 5. And still you can’t customize anything but wallpaper and ringtone :-) Not to mention can’t turn any feature on/off with one toggle click, without going into settings every single time. Yeah, I see your point.

Well, few years on the market and you still can’t do anything with phone without cable and iTunes. Unlike Kies Air or AirDroid, which allow access phone and its content from any device, any OS, and tablets, without cable, instal programs and cables.
